| - Ok, folks...Don't hate on America's just because you don't know what to order or what stuff is or...you have "expectations" that are completely americanized and out of whack anyways (You've been hitting chipotle, TB and baja WAY too much!). Keep an open mind and walk in expecting the unexpected. If you want processed, "americanized" Mexican fast food or chicken...as another reviewer said: Go to Taco Bell in the MU or hit Baja Fresh up the Street. If you want pretty authentic, tasty, and delicious mexican food (esp carne asada), then def give the place a try with an open mind. Look past the fact that it's small, has a small menu, and you might not know what some of the stuff is and JUST TRY IT.
Sorry...but I've gotta stick up for these folks and for small business owners. I'm not going to lie - I hadn't gotten past the carne asada burrito and the guac before today because they are both just so freaking good! But I finally got to try their shrimp ceviche today (only served on Fridays and Saturdays)...And all in all, I have to say that it was pretty darned good. The carne asada, though, is awesome and worth the trip. It's not greasy or fatty and it's so flavorful and tender, it's just beyond YUMMY. I honestly have trouble putting it down because it is THAT good. The guac is really fresh and tasty...and the salsa is also very yummy (although I could go for a bit more bite to it!). The ceviche was good too, but not as good as the carne asada.
The menu is small for a reason: think five guys, the chuck box, and some of the other joints that do a couple of things and do them WELL. That's exactly what America's does. Give 'em a try...I personally think they're a great addition to that whole area and I hope they are successful!
(for the folks who didn't know the difference btwn a quesadilla and vampiro - don't blame the restaurant for your ignorance).
